Dodgers SP Zack Greinke fails to take home win in Monday’s start

This story will be updated with post-game quotes and additional material from the Giants clubhouse.

Marlon Byrd singled to lead off the 12th and Kelby Tomlinson sliced a single that was far enough toward the line that Byrd could take third.

The Dodgers entered the game 0-6 at AT&T Park this season and 0-8 in the Bay Area in 2015.

The Giants are grasping onto this season by a single big toe.

If the Giants were to sweep the series, they would trail by two game with three left to play.

Monday night belonged to Jake Peavy (7 IP, 1 run, 1 hit, 4 strikeouts), who was tossing his best stuff against a potent Dodgers lineup. But he couldn’t retire either of the lefties he faced in the ninth, as Corey Seager and Adrian Gonzalez lined singles. Brown drilled his double in the second inning, and Tomlinson made defensive highlights all night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers blew their first chance in this four-game set at AT&T Park to clinch a third straight NL West crown.

Before Seager’s single, the Dodgers went 36 innings without a run at AT&T Park dating to the one they scored in the third inning of a 3-2, 10-inning loss April 23 in the Giants’ waterfront ballpark.

Los Angeles’ magic number to clinch the West remained at two after losing 3-2 in 12 innings Monday.

Josh Osich needed just six pitches to retire three right-handed hitters and bridge the eighth inning – a trouble spot for the Giants in recent days.

The odds for San Francisco and Los Angeles are even, while the Over/Under (O/U) is unavailable as of now.

Greinke was lifted for a pinch hitter and limited to seven innings, allowing a pair of runs on four hits and three walks, striking out seven.

The Los Angeles Dodgers listen to the national anthem before a baseball game against the San Francisco Giants, Monday, September 28, 2015, in San Francisco.

And it’s going to be a long, troublesome road if the boys from Los Angeles expect to find themselves back in the World Series conversation. The Dodgers’ offense failed to score more than two runs during the game, dragging the contest into extra innings.

“Extremely low”, Dodgers starter Zack Greinke said, speaking for himself.

Our rookie second baseman made a couple of stops-highlight reel stuff, one in the sixth and one in the seventh, that kept the Dodgers from getting base hits and giving Peavy shut down innings both times. Of the Giants 11 hits, seven of them were by rookies that didn’t start the season in a Giants uniform.

Tonight’s star: Trevor Brown. With two out in the third inning, Crawford was held to a single on a nice play by right fielder Byrd. Kelby Tomlinson singled past Seager at short to put runners on first and second for Brown.

The Giants almost won in the bottom of the ninth after Buster Posey hit a one-out double and Crawford drew an intentional walk.
